You can always keep PS and run a electric pump from a MR2...

My friend just said that if I dont loop the lines pressure builds up on 1 side and thats how it fails. IDK how long its safe to drive with it like that. I hate to loop it and not like how it feels driving.

I looped the lines on my PS rack recently. I wish I could have used a block with four barbs on it instead of this... but it works, so what the hell. Just make sure you have some oil in there, with a breather on the top (not shown in my pics).
